That's why he said "may be." He knows it's bull, but it riles up the deplorables in his base.

I just saw an A&W ad promoting Teen Burgers for $4.99 each. I remember when you could get two of them for just a penny more. (And what a handsome fella driving that forklift.)

The internet being the internet, I'm pretty sure how those first copies will be used. I wonder how the creator of the AI actress will react to an AI porn star.

I mean, halal and satan both have two A's in the same positions. What more evidence do you need if you're a gullible, brain washed, rube with no critical thinking skills?

Perhaps we should base our relationship with the US on the quality of the ambassadors they keep sending us.

Buy a book? I don't think I've ever gone into a bookstore and bought a book.

A handful of books, sure. An armload of books, certainly. A basket of books, absolutely. But a book? Never happened, probably never will.

The number of people in this country 🇨🇦 who think the Liberals are liberals, and who are shocked to discover they're just corporate capitalists, will never cease to amaze me.

This isn't and shouldn't be surprising. People raised to believe in the supernatural may be willing to abandon organised religion for any number of reasons without abandoning the supernatural.

Well, it's soft, and you can't make strong houses out of soft wood. You need strong wood for strong houses and soft houses aren't secure enough. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what a very stable genius with a tiny hands would say.
